Carroll, and even sites Kurt Cobain.
Its been nearly 10 years since the release of his first collection Riddles of Corrosion, and at his own admittance The Forgotten Theatre could have been released earlier, perhaps years ago, but like a doting father clinging to the last days of his growing child's innocence , chose to wait.

" I couldn't decide on the format, whether to do a Book, a Graphic Novel, Play or Collection. Hell I even dabbled with a film concept. Its an extremely personal work to me, and I wanted to make sure it was put into the best possible light. I think it has a stronger presence in poetry. that being said, I do think an entity is born in the Dark One, and his story does deserve to be told.."

The Forgotten Theatre is 125 pages. Its set in an Amphitheater that has been the site of a historical tragedy in the 1900s, but the era is not so much a factor.
The proprietor, renown world wide for his flair for eccentric, edgy, plays.
tampers with pyrotechnics, which has already added to his already some what mystical appeal.

"The Dark One " is also captivated but in a completely different way. To Him , this is the Ultimate performance. he knows his actors won't stop for they are well trained, and it doesn't appear they even really notice. The Dark One, after all is unpredictable.

The fire kills everyone in the Theatre.

As punishment for his lack of Humanity, the Dark One is forever cursed to instruct way word souls to help correct the lives of those chosen by an unseen hand.
Which he does, in his own way through prose...
